I've got a Mondeo Mk 4 Titanium X Sport with xenon headlights. they used to be great but after taking it in for some work the dealer adjusted the lights way down so that the dip beam is cut off about two car lengths ahead, driving on country roads in the dark is positively dangerous.

So my question is how do I adjust the lights? It's really frustrating because in the 'good old days' adjusting the lights would have been a two minute job, quick tweak of a screw and job done. I cant even find any manual adjuster on the Mondeo. There are a couple of large nylon allen socket screws but turning these appears to have no effect on anything.

You were in the right place. The white allen key bolts are the ones. The one on the outer edge of the light adjusts left to right, the inner one does up and down. I had my lights pointing at a wall about 50 yards away and could see them moving slowly as I was adjusting them.

Both my Mondeo and my wife's 307cc had lights adjusted way too low for my liking when we had them. My friend's Citroen C4 is the same too.

Thanks for the replies guys. It looks like I had the correct adjusters but just didn't turn them enough. I had the car only two or three meters from the wall so might not have been able to see small movement. Just to confirm; full beam is ok, it's just the dip that is cut off too low.

Regarding self levelling.. yes I believe they are self level but you can still manually adjust the 'centre point' about which they automatically self level. All self levelling lights can be manually adjusted in this way.

I will also need to do this, got nice bright bulbs in my headlights but the throw is only about 1 car in front which i dont like, when im driving at night i am watching more than 1 cat length in front so need it a good bit further especially on unlit roads.
